Don't Drink On An Empty Stomach

Wednesday - Afternoon class was canceled, so I took off early. There was a tutoring section for contracts, but it was late in the afternoon. I thought about going to Walgreens for some dark chocolate covered cherries, but wisely decided against it. Cash and calories. I'd been doing fairly well with my current strategy of eating pasta and rice, since I have to make each serving separately. I ate two servings of pasta, and one of cereal...I was a very hungry boy. I guess that still isn't terrible, given my former binges. Ken came home, and was going to make dinner again, but I had to leave at 6:30 for the THLA mixer. He was kind of sad about that, and I offered to eat first, especially since I didn't know if there was going to be anything vegan at the mixer, but Ken declined. We walked over to the store, picked up ingredients for making dinner, and then to Subway for his dinner. On the walk back, my friend Amanda called regarding the carpooling situation. Showered and shaved when I got home, then drove over to Amanda's apt., and from there to the house in Pt. Loma. There were pita chips there, and fruit, but the only substantial food was pizza. There was, however, vodka and diet. I did alright for most of the night - talked to Gregg, met a lawyer named Ken who seemed to want to get into my pants. I was most impressed by a young lady named Erin, who is studying to take the Bar presently. She had wonderful career advice. Things get fuzzy after the conversation with her, but I remember the home owner's dogs getting in a vicious fight...I separated them twice, but they kept going back at each other. Erin separated them, but ended up getting bitten in the hand, with a rather large amount of blood. Amanda drove me back to my car, and asked if I was okay to drive...I remember saying "yes", but not actually driving home. At home, I think I tried unsuccessfully to make rice, then threw up in the bathroom and passed out on the kitchen floor. Ken, disappointed but resigned, picked me up off the floor and went to bed. At least I didn't pee on anything.
